WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Commercial use of this unit void the manufacturer's
warranty.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be connected to a grounded
wiring system. If it should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a safe path of least
resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk of
electrical shock. The cord for this appliance has an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. It must only be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
Improper
connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of
electrical shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you aren’t
sure if the outlet is properly grounded.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. If it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician. This appliance
is designed for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit, and has a grounding attachment
plug that looks like the plug in the
drawing above. Make certain that the
appliance is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the
plug. No plug adapter should be used with
this appliance.
This model is for household uses only.

Cleaning hard floors
Your Steam Mop is designed to clean hard flooring such as ceramic tile, laminate, marble, stone and sealed
hard wood floors. Use of your Steam Mop on waxed or some unwaxed floors may result in diminished
glossiness. On surfaces that have been treated with wax, the wax may be removed by the heat and steam
action. Do not use on unsealed wood floors or let unit stand on any wood floor for an extended period of
time. This could cause the wood grain to rise. When using on peel-and-stick vinyl, linoleum or any other
heat sensitive floors, use extra caution. Too much heat can melt down glue in the flooring. For best results
test in an inconspicuous area and check the care instructions from your flooring manufacturer.
1. When the ready light illuminates, begin cleaning by passing over surface while pressing
trigger to emit steam.
2. To sanitize an area of your floor, place the center of the Steam Mop over the spot for a
minimum 15 seconds, but no longer than 20 seconds.
3. When the Steam Mop stops emitting steam, simply remove the water tank, refill, and continue
cleaning.
Carpet Refresher Attachment (select models only)
This accessory is recommended for the refreshing of
carpets. Once the steam mop is cradled in the carpet
refresher attachment, it will easily glide over the carpet.
NOTE: Always be sure a mop pad is in place
before placing in carpet refresher attachment. It is
recommended that only white mop pads be used with
the carpet attachment. Do not use carpet attachment
on spots or stains, or glide it over the same spot for
longer than 20 seconds.
1. Attach the mop pad to the swivel mop head. As
directed in step 1 on page 4.
2. Place the swivel mop head, with mop pad attached, in
the carpet refresher attachment.
Note: that the Steam Mop rests in the carpet refresher
attachment and may not stay attached to the swivel mop
head. It is meant to glide over the carpet.
3. Fill the water tank with water. Begin refreshing your
carpet or rug by pushing the Steam Mop in a forward
and backward motion, releasing steam as you go.
CAUTION:
Never put descaling,
alcoholic, or deter-
gent products into
the steam cleaner,
as this may damage
it or make it unsafe
for use.
Carpet Refresher Attachment (select models only) continued
4.
When you have finished refreshing your carpet or rug, unplug the steam mop and remove from the carpet
or rug.
NOTE: Move the Steam Mop and carpet refresher attachment in a continuous motion until you are
finished. This product is not intended to be used as a carpet cleaner, only a carpet refresher or
deodorizer. Never attempt to use the Steam Mop on carpet without the carpet refresher attachment
in place. DO NOT leave the mop in a stationary position.
Replacing the water filter
If you fill your Steam Mop cleaner with normal tap water, it is essential to check the water filter and replace
it when it is no longer effective. Change the filter when the bright green grains turn blue. If the filter is not
changed at the appropriate time, calcium deposits will accumulate on the heating element, causing dam
-
age or reduced performance. Using distilled or demineralized water will maximize the performance
of your filter.
When you're done
1. Unplug power cord from outlet.
2. Carefully remove mop pad from swivel mop head,
as mop pad and lower assembly will be hot.
3. Any water remaining in the water tank should be emptied
prior to machine storage.
4. Mop pad can be machine washed in warm water. Use only
liquid detergants. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, For
best results, air dry.
5. Wrap power cord around quick release cord wrap.
6. Wipe all surfaces of Steam Mop with a soft cloth. Store
upright in a protected, dry area.
